  1. She's bigger than I would have thought. I know, I know, my mom something or other.

    I was going to say september/ October or April/ may give you the best chance for good flow and also not dying in a flash flood.

    For dragging I'd do closer to 10 feet. On the cheap, just run the rope through a six inch length of pvc. At the devil's, it's dragging, but it's also letting the boat go ahead of you and holding it back. On the cooler... I wouldn't take one. As light as possible...

  5. Regardless of motive, which I would think is to help a friend, I can't see how anyone sees it as a negative that's not a buckeye fan.
  6. This could easily be thrown into the dumb question amnesty thread, but I'm choosing to drop it here. My daughters and I play the license plate game in the car (keep a list and try to find all 50). Trailers on 18 wheelers are a good source of out of state players, however, there is an insane number of them from both Oklahoma and Maine. Any idea why? Cheaper to register there? Manufactured there? Oklahoma I can kind of see, but Maine? Wtf?

    That water looks glorious. Nice pics.
  8. I like this idea, also in for a few bucks a month
  9. I was expecting to be rooting for the town when I opened this thread, because fuck emotional support animals, but you move next to a lake and bitch about ducks? The fuck is wrong with you?
  10. Which corner of Congress and riverside? What is it now? Just curious.
  11. Fuck austin government. Sincerely, The State of Texas (786,564th edition) That's all I've got.

    Therma rest are solid and compress down well. I've always just had one of those ozark trail pillows, which I've thought was fine. They have different sizes depending on how big you are. If you're bringing a 1 man tent, just keep the footprint of the tent in mind and try to go bigger than you think you'll need.

    I used chemicals and a bottle with a built in filter
  14. PatrickMcHorn replied to TexasEd's topic in Hobbies
    Vodka, filtered river water, and Arnold palmer dissolving packets ftmfw.

    Agree with everything smails said. Super duper light. It will make a big difference when dragging, and if you're going to splurge on one thing, make it the sleeping pad.

    Nice. I'm happy to help with questions from my experience, but at the very least let us know how it goes and post some pics

    If I remember correctly from the San Marcos thread of infamy, you are young, and I imagine in shape. Given that, I would say no there's not really anything to worry about as long as you're properly prepared. If you've backpacked before, that's a huge Plus. Just know you'll need to go as light as possible, which I assume you're already used to. Make sure you have a reliable way to get water, purifying river water is really easy there. Other than that, they're stolen Falls which you can't kayak over. The only other thing to be aware of in my opinion, is three tiers Falls, which if the water flow is slow, you'll really just kind of bounce your boat off of rocks until you get to the bottom. The other thing to be concerned about is flash floods, it's truly an undammed River for the part that you will be on. Rain 300 miles away, could mean an immediate unforeseen Danger. The other thing is really just understanding that help is hours away with a satellite phone, and days away without one. Be careful, and you will be fine.

    Yeah, it would be really tough for me. You only get one opening weekend a year. The other thing about Labor Day is, you might have some water flow issues. That's true of any day, but I would think that historically towards the end of summer, the flow is going to be on the lower side. Do you know if you would put in at Baker's, or at the first Park? At the park, the Springs there make the flow much more consistent, from baker's, it might be a really tough paddle that first day.

    I would have a hard time on opening football weekend, but that's just me. I've been twice, and it is definitely something that everyone should do before they die. It is also something that, I'm not entirely confident will still exist in its current form in 5, 10, or 20 years. I would like to think that it will remain protected, and access very guarded, but honestly, who knows. If it were me, I think I would take a look at the friends who were inviting me, and decide if they are the kind of people I would want to spend for tough but beautiful days with. People who complain, are assholes, or who would have issues at the first sign of trouble, are not someone that I would want to go to with. Maybe you have better friends than me, but if it's weren't three or four specific friends of mine, I would tell them I'll catch you next time, and then actually plan my own trip that wasn't the opening weekend of football.
  20. I see it in all its glory. Well done.
